Flu Shots

We are scheduling a weekend flu clinic, please call the office to schedule a Saturday or Sunday appointment.

Getting an annual flu vaccine is the first and best way to protect yourself and your family from the flu. Flu vaccination can reduce flu illnesses, doctors’ visits, and missed work and school due to flu, as well as prevent flu-related hospitalizations. The more people who get vaccinated, the more people will be protected from flu, including older people, very young children, pregnant women and people with certain health conditions who are more vulnerable to serious flu complications.

What viruses will the 2017-2018 flu vaccines protect against?

There are many flu viruses and they are constantly changing. The composition of U.S. flu vaccines is reviewed annually and updated to match circulating flu viruses. Flu vaccines protect against the three or four viruses that research suggests will be most common. For 2017-2018, three-component vaccines are recommended to contain:

an A/Michigan/45/2015 (H1N1)pdm09-like virus

an A/Hong Kong/4801/2014 (H3N2)-like virus

a B/Brisbane/60/2008-like (B/Victoria lineage) virus

Four-component vaccines, which protect against a second lineage of B viruses, are recommended to be produced using the same viruses recommended for the trivalent vaccines, as well as a B/Phuket/3073/2013-like (B/Yamagata lineage) virus.

New Automated System!

Our practice uses an automated system to remind and confirm appointments 48 hour s in advance, for all sick and well visits. If you do not receive a reminder of your appointment 48hrs in advance, through our automated system please call the office to let us know, so that we can verify the correct contact information and also to confirm your appointment. Missed appointments or appointments canceled with less than 24 hours notice will incur a charge. April 1st 2017 Our new system will generate a once a week billing reminder for those who owe balances.
